About This Activity

Running groups or sports teams may receive a discounted rate of $7 a person for the 5K race. To receive this special rate, there should be groups of 10 and each team member must complete an individual registration form. Then the coach or team leader must mail all of the registration forms and fees in together. (Please note: the group rate will not apply at day-of registration. Groups must register in advance to receive this special rate).
